Okay ladies !! URGENT!! I'm on the Makena shot to prevent preterm labor I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant. I missed my shot last week because I'm waiting on the stupid pharmacy to send them!! And I still don't have them and I'm suppose to get a shot tomorrow. This will be two shots I have missed! My question is should I worry about going into labor this early ??? Both my first babies were 35 weekers.
@ansturner15, because of insurance purposes I pretty much only has my shot probably two months if that... I had my baby boy at 35 weeks and 2 days. He weighed 6lbs 6oz and 19 1/2 inches long. The only problem he had when he came out was keeping his temp up by himself but he’s 3 1/2 weeks old now doing great!
@1southernmomma hey was wondering how long you missed your shot for and is everything ok??
@1southernmomma you're welcome. Also, maybe talk with your doctor also, they may be able to give you more reassuring answers.
@hanahmarie2183, okay thank you!!
You should be fine, but I'll depend on your body. Preterm labor runs in my family, I delivered at 34 weeks with my first. I was on the makenna shot with my second still had preterm labor at 34 weeks that they stopped and I went to 38 weeks. My cousin same thing and her pharmacy had her missing 4-6shots and she actually went to 39 weeks with her 3rd baby and never experienced preterm labor that pregnancy. Same as myself I'm getting induced on Friday with my 3rd and havent experienced preterm labor this time and I'll be 38 weeks and 5 days on Friday.
@shaneen32, almost 24 weeks
@shaneen32, it's a progesterone shot to help prevent preterm labor
@shaneen32, I take the Makena P-17 shot
I'm in labor
Guys, I've been in labor I guess since 9pm Sunday. .that I know.
I was in the hospital last week for preterm labor and they stopped the contractions and sent me home. Now a week later I'm back in here with worse contractions and they are going to stop them again and send me home. I really want to deny these shots. It's obvious my baby girl is trying to be born, I feel like these shots are hurting her 🙁🙁 the first time I totally understand but a week later....
I'm in labor.

I Got The Job.. 🙌😘😍😋 God is Amazing. ! Start Work Friday. I'm Gone Miss My Kids, But It's For Them.. My Husband Will Watch Them Though Cause I Took Night Shift. I'm Happy.. #Blessings
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
That is great to hear so being on the meds n stopping them didn't really do much to you. That is great news. I'm happy your little man's doing good.💟
